We the people of the United States of America urgently demand the immediate repeal and elimination of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy top 2%. We the people of the United States cannot afford to pay for the rich top 2% Bush tax cuts. We the people of the USA are desperately struggling to survive to achieve our American dreams and American potential in these tough desperate economic times primarily because of the existing Bush tax cuts that reward mostly the wealthy few. If we are truly concerned about our growing national debt and to decrease our federal deficit, these harsh economic times necessarily call for excluding and eliminating the tax breaks for the wealthy top 2% of Americans for the benefit of all Americans including the wealthy in the long term and the nation. The Bush tax cuts and the extension for the wealthy is unfair & unconstitutional for hard-working Americans & America. Working class Americans are struggling and suffering from the Bush tax cuts that reward only the few. The Bush tax cuts are undemocratic because the power resides only in the hands of the few not the many, not the people. In contrast, real genuine democracy calls for power and opportunity in the hands of the people, the many. Wealth needs to come with some responsibility to serve and benefit the entire community necessary for the growth and prosperity of the nation; it is a socially progressive approach reflects the democratic principles that helps sustain capitalism practices and democracy in our democratic society. Please, adopt the genuine American approach of extending tax cuts only for 98% of all Americans. We are urging our government to extend tax cuts only for 98% of all Americans and not the wealthy top 2%!
